My family loves these. I substituted the sugar for 2 tbsp. of honey (1 would have been sufficient). I chopped a small bag of raisins because I made mini-muffins and the kids like it when they don't know they are raisins. I like to add a little orange or lemon zest, also.

DD: Mom they didn't rise. ME: Did you add the baking powder or soda? DD: Yup ME: Wow! Something's not right. DD: I followed the recipe to a T mom. But the batter was really soupy. ME: Did you add the flour? DD: (pause) flour??? There's flour? ME: *sigh* she's 21

i altered the recipe just a smidgen.... if you don't have time to soak the oatmeal, it's cool, microwave them. Just for about a minute and a half, make them soft. I also made it with unsweetened almond milk. 35 cal a cup!! i also switcheed the applesauce for a banana and added pecans! delicious!

I have made a substitution for the Splenda to an equal amount of Agave syrup which I mixed into the wet ingredients. The flour, which is listed as a wet ingredient, I mixed into the dry grouping instead. It smells heavenly baking. They are moist and tasty, and I will make them again.

I thought they were quite good. They are very easy to make. I have to say my parents probably liked them more than I did. I am making more for them. I'll also continue to make more for myself. I believe they will make a good quick breakfast.

These were great! I didn't have cinnimin so used a dash of ground cloves instead. I made these as Mini muffins and baked them for 15-20 mins. Family LOVED them as did my office. I will make these again!
